Fast data storage - data storage

Very fast SSD. Can't comment on durability as I just got it, but it works well. However, the installation was PITA because I had never installed an m.2 SSD before. YouTube videos usually just show people screwing in an SSD easily, but (for people who don't know how to install an m.2 SSD) you can't just screw a drive into a motherboard. If your motherboard has an m.2 slot, there should already be a screw near the m.2 slot on the motherboard. Take it out and install it in the hole that your m.2 drive fits in, then slide the drive over that screw and use the m.2 screw to screw the drive onto the screw that is already on your motherboard. I hope this helps save some frustration for another newbie in the future.
